Hello, your grandma's HP computer is quite old, running Windows 10 without any support updates left. Are there any recommended CPUs that would fit into it? You can check the official HP website for compatible models or contact their support for guidance. The AM4 chipset offers some upgrade options, but confirm compatibility before proceeding.

Typically, OEM setups don’t provide BIOS updates that include CPUs unavailable for purchase. This means if your system includes a Ryzen 1000 series processor, you’re limited to that model and won’t get official Windows 11 support. For a Ryzen 2000 series, upgrading would likely unlock Windows 11 (except for certain Zen variants). Even with the right CPU, BIOS settings like Secure Boot and TPM must be enabled—though I’m unsure if those features are supported by all manufacturers.

You usually have the flexibility to skip the Windows 11 prerequisites and install it on unsupported systems. I've managed this several times without problems, so I’d likely give it a shot here. Make sure to back up your data first.

HP offers upgrades but often in an inconsistent way. Your example falls short. Changing anything in the system creates a series of trade-offs, ultimately resulting in a completely different setup. I’d suggest searching for a refurbished HP EliteDesk with an Intel 8000 CPU—available at low prices, it’s supported and includes a TPM chipset.
